  1. They Are From Perth

    July 15, 2010 by jjosh

    I mean sure, it sounds like Cream, but it is also awesome. Bonus for great video.


  2. chik chik chik

    July 7, 2010 by jjosh

    This is the new one from !!!, which they claim should be pronounced as any three sounds in a row, chik chik chik or boom boom boom or whatever…

    I saw these guys play in DC once in this tiny art space on Eye St downtown and they tore the roof off, it was amazing. This song has a stone groove that just doesn't stop, kind of like most of their other tracks…the video is helpful and mindbending…

    They play Williamsburg Waterfont on Aug 15, if you're in town, you wanna go? It's free!


  3. ahhh yes

    do you like feeling good? I hope so, because that's how you're going to feel after you watch this. crank the volume if you can…

  4. you know its true

    June 28, 2010 by jjosh

    this track…I keep listening to it over and over (the album version), it's got something so good about it…it's great that at Glastonbury Florence showed up to make it happen with the xx, and I love that she sings it in the same way they sliced and diced her vocal on the remix…great… FIXED!


  5. +/-

    anti-tv screed, matrix style? minus…

    mind melt animation? plus!

  6. kick it in

    June 23, 2010 by jjosh

    this vid has a nice smooth feel…and right when I said to myself "I hope they take it to the next level", they did!

  8. summer approaches

    May 26, 2010 by jjosh

    And in a similar vein from yesterday's post, check this…pretty great, big beat, nice dancing/footwork, a bit pop at times, mainly in the chorus, but overall very feelgood…and Big Boi never goes amiss…I predict this may be the jam of the summer…KT's gonna love it…and the video, beautifully filmed, echoes of Cuckoo's Nest, Wes Anderson's font in the opening titles, a great jam of influences, and Janelle appearing throughout like a fully-formed star, but of the kooky variety…

  9. always awesome

    May 10, 2010 by jjosh

    I'm sure that somewhere there's a way to make MIA's Paper Planes sound lame, but this is not it. Onion AV is doing this thing where they have bands cover new and old classics, and this is The Clientele rocking MIA. The violins and everything…it's so good… The Clientele covers M.I.A.

    I'm posting this here because if you haven't seen Spike Jonze's return to music vids with the new LCD Soundsystem single, you really should. Defines "anarchic". Feels good/scary, which is a nice combo. I'm still out on the single…I didn't think that much of it when I first heard it, but I must say, it keeps getting stuck in my head…

  12. RIP Malcolm McClaren

    April 12, 2010 by jjosh

    Always sort of admired the guy…seemed to be bursting with ideas…plus how amazing is this track:


  13. I 8 the Moon

    April 7, 2010 by jjosh

    Yeah, so this guy made a version of Dark side of the moon just using the audio capabilities of the NES sound chip. It sounds amazing, somehow. I've been listening to the whole thing over and over, there are some parts that are just haunting, and computer game-y at the same time. Go here to download for yourself, and here's a sample ("Great Gig In The Sky") of what I'm talking about:


  14. true.

    April 3, 2010 by jjosh

    sometimes I love Pitchfork's echo chamber:

    "Years ago, some girl wrote in the classifieds saying she was looking for a man 'with the poetic sensitivity of Leonard Cohen and the raw power of Iggy Pop,' so Leonard tried to get me to set up a three-way with her [laughs]. He said, 'Dude, we can give her both!'"

  15. this what happens

    March 30, 2010 by jjosh

    when you announce that Jeff Magnum will be playing his first show in ten years and tickets will go on sale at noon…I do like their fail page though…

    UPDATE – we got tickets! sweet! sold out in 15 minutes…
